Spain: Europe's number 1 destination for immigrants

[Dumb Ideologies]

They took a bite out of Spain before, must have found it very Moorish.

Bloggy as fuck OP asides... it makes a lot of sense for Spain to be a major destination for immigrants. For one, it has a lot of former colonies where Spanish remains the dominant language, and relatively recent Spanish heritage is widespread. Plus, even at its worst, Spain remains very attractive socioeconomically.

But most of the migrants come from Africa (where Spain had very few colonies), and it suffered a disastrous economical crisis only a few years back and is still recovering from it (according to my dad's family).

Its geographical proximity to Africa is a likelier explanation.

Most of them come from North Africa. There's cultural, historical, political, and even in some cases familial ties involved there.
